Photographed by Alex Weltlinger

Photo Editing by *alita-b-angel

Myself :iconalita-b-angel: as Sephiroth

Notes:

I made our wonderful photographer go through Hell to try and get this shot. Since I had originally intended all along for my costume to accommodate one wing.

So imagine a really windy rooftop and me on a pile of 1 metre high bricks wobbling as I was buffeted, Arleh holding the wing and then Alex yelling "GO!!!" And then me trying to look cool and remain ON the bricks as Arleh ran away, and us trying to get a shot before the wing was blown either in my face, or dragged me off the bricks with its weight, and send me sailing off the roof (I CAN FLY).

The coat was made with an invisible zipper in the back so I could just slot in the wing, which those of you may recognise is actually Arleh's Howl's Moving Castle wing.

The Masamune sword which is 7 feet of metal was crazy heavy... No I lie, this one is actually made by Steve who so kindly did an exact replica of my actual metal sword so I could carry it in my noodly hands.
See how he did it:

Lensflare for the win.
